Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has reacted to reports linking him with a return to Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti, who is currently in charge of the LaLiga giants, is expected to leave the Bernabeu in 2024.

Ancelotti is expected to take over the Brazil national team.

Mourinho is one of the coaches that has been linked as the Italian’s replacement.

But he told Rai1: “Re-joining Real Madrid to replace Ancelotti? Florentino is super smart.

“He already has a super manager, why thinking of another?

“I’m Madridista and I hope Ancelotti will stay there. He’s the perfect coach for Real Madrid.”
